UPDATED: Multi-Item Edit v4.3
Multi-Item Edit v4.3 will allow you to edit most tags (and some additional options) of the selected track(s) in a single floating window using single-edit mode (one selected track) or multi-edit mode, which emulates the pre-iTunes 12 "multiple items" format; that is, a checkbox adjacent to each tag allows you to select which changes are to be applied to the selection's tags.
This latest version adds support for iTunes 12.2 including the new "Loved" (or "Likes", I suppose) rating tag. I removed the "Album Rating" tag setting to make room for "Loved", but "Album Rating" was proving difficult to reliably compute when tracks were from disparate albums. I don't think it will be missed. You'll also be able to edit tags when a selection of tracks contains more than one kind of media.
This update is free for registered users. New users can try it free for 10 days; it's $1.99 thereafter.
More information—including video—and download is on this page.
Script of the Day: Artist to Last-First

Move the LAST word of the tag to the beginning, eg:
OR Move the FIRST word of the tag to the end, eg:
Then, the newly configured text can be copied back to your choice of Artist, Album Artist, Composer, Sort Artist, Sort Album Artist and/or Sort Composer tag(s).

UPDATED: Multi-Item Edit v4.2
Multi-Item Edit is an applet that acts as an alternative to iTunes' "Get Info" editing panel:
You can read more about it on its product page, where there's also a quick YouTube video explaining how it goes.
This latest version fixes a problem with changing Last Played and Last Skipped dates in single-edit mode; fixes a logic issue with auto-setting checkboxes; worksaround issue whereby iTunes Match tracks might be ignored; fixes an issue with toggling Information Tracking; and has preliminary support for OS X 10.11 (El Capitan) beta.
Multi-Item Edit is free to try for ten days, $1.99 thereafter.
